Tips For Looking Great In The Rain And When You Arrive At Your Destination<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Clothing designed for sporting activities are made from water-resistant, breathable materials that are perfect for wet weather. These pieces repel water in a storm, dry quickly, and look fresh when you arrive at your destination. Keep a couple fashionable pieces on hand to work double duty as “regular clothes” for rainy days. Examples: golf skirt (Sarah, www.zappos.com\/clothing<\/a>), nylon hiking pants (Jaclyn, www.athleta.com\/<\/a>).<\/p>\n

Choose footwear made of water-proof materials \u2013 plastic & rubber rain boots, garden clogs, plastic sandals, and Crocs are great choices.<\/p>\n

Choose handbags made from water-proof materials \u2013 patent leather, rubber, micro-fiber all work well. Or pop your handbag into a waterproof reuseable shopping bag (www.rumebags.com\/<\/a>).<\/p>\n

Pony tails and “up-dos” are the best hair styles for the rain because they stay neat and smooth even when wet.<\/p>\n

Water-proof hats and umbrellas keep makeup lasting longer in the rain. Water proof eye-makeup and lip\/cheek stains stay fresh in the rain.<\/p>\n
